Right Of Way At Road Roundabouts

Boris says E&C is ok "If you keep your wits about you".

Mind you, Boris is a fatuous arse.

I think E&C is ok. Old St is a bit of a pain. Lewisham roundabout used to be a nightmare cos motorists just ignored priority completely

Do the Lewisham roundabout of death everyday... it's ok but only because it's always chocca..

But don't you only come onto it and turn left? It's when you come on from the Lee High Road side and head off towards Loampit Vale, you'd get people coming from Tescos and just ignoring the road from LHR, also the ones coming up Mole St (?) would just pull onto the roundabout regardless of bikes. Been a few years since I went across it though.

Also right round from Loampit to Molesworth in the evening

If only we could adopt the Dutch system where cyclists have priority on roundabouts. A touring cyclist with four laden panniers bearing down on a roundabout causes the nearest thing to panic among drivers that you are likely to see.
